Women in England 1760-1914: A Social History Book

This book brings together an astonishing range of research into women's lives in England between 1760 and 1914. Using diaries, letters, memoirs as well as social and statistical research, it looks at life-expectancy, sex, marriage and childbirth, and work inside and outside the home, for all classes of women. It charts the poverty and struggles of the working class as well as the leadership roles of middle-class and elite women. It considers the influence of religion, education, and politics, especially the advent of organised feminism and the suffragette movement. It looks, too, at the huge role played by women in the British Empire: how imperialism shaped English women's lives and how women also moulded the Empire.Read More
